Veteran midfielder Hossam Ghaly has officially rejoined boyhood club Ahly on Wednesday on a six-month contract after his recent departure from Saudi side Al-Nassr, the Cairo giants announced.
"The technical staff agreed to the return of Ghaly until the end of the current season," Hossam El-Badry was quoted as saying by the club s official website.
The 36-year-old player announced late Monday that he ended his contract with Al-Nassr amicably.
Last August, Ahly skipper Ghaly moved to Al-Nassr to start a second spell with the Saudi side, who he played for in 2010.
Saudi reports recently linked Ghaly with a move to the Saudi side Al-Fateh, but finally the player, who was Egypt s star player for years, signed for Ahly just a few hours ahead of the close of the winter transfer window in the Egyptian Premier League.
Ahly s coaching staff is reportedly still considering registering the player in the club s African squad.
Ghaly, who started his career with Ahly s first team in 2000, had successful journeys playing abroad in Europe with Feyenoord, Tottenham Hotspur, Derby County and Lierse before settling down at his boyhood club since 2014.
